Summary: I think this one is the BEST one out yet!!!!
Review: This one is my son's absolute favorite of all the Baby Einstein tapes!! He CANNOT watch it enough!! The best part (for him) is when the blue monkey comes out of the box little by little and then shakes his head real hard, my son just loses it and then about falls out of his chair laughing when the monkey comes right after it and slips on a banana peel!! It's just too much fun to watch him enjoy the tape. Both Doolittle tapes are awesome!! But we have and love them all!!! (all the Baby Einstein tapes)

Summary: Baby Einstein is the Best
Review: I recently purchased this video along with Baby Dolittle Neighborhood Animals. My son loves this video. It seems to be his favorite right now. We own all the Baby Einstein videos and I highly recommend all of them. I give all their videos 5 stars. Baby Einstein products have been a life saver for me. My son will sit and watch any one of their videos while I quickly get something done like cook dinner or clean up.

Summary: Not up to usual standard
Review: By daughter (now 14 months) enjoys many of the Baby Einstein videos. She likes the companion to this one, "Neighborhood Animals" as well as others in the series (Mozart, Bach, Shakespeare and Van Gogh). By "likes" I mean that she will sit through the entire video and respond to the images by laughing, clapping etc. Not in this case. The video is divided into 3 sections; Animals in the Jungle (tiger, tropical bird, monkey); Animals in the Ocean (sea turtle, dolphin, fish); and Animals on the Savannah (elephant, giraffe, lion). The actual video clips of these animals are good to fair in quality. However, there are LONG intervals between these sections in which the puppetry seems amateurish (in comparison to the others in the series), the live action segments of children dressed up as animals are ridiculous, and the segments featuring toys simply dull and unimaginative. The music selections also seem haphazard, and the silly song that accompanies the "Ocean" segment is especially cloying. But the real judge is my daughter and instead of interacting with this video she rapidly loses interest. I understand that Baby Einstein is using a tried and true formula but that formula falls apart if the accompaning material is weak. It seems to me that this video was rushed in production and therefore suffers greatly in quality in contrast to the others in the series. I am very disappointed. I gave it 2 stars only because of the live animal footage. I would recommend the video by embryonics Video Soup "Mozart Nature Symphonies" if you have a child interested in animals, there are no puppets, toys or children, but it presents its video segments in an lively and intelligent manner.

Summary: disappointed in this video
Review: As a parent of an 18 month daughter, we own all of the videos in the Baby Einstein series. We are always excited when a new video comes out. We purchased this video thinking that she would love it, as she loves animals. She is extremely bored with this video, and as a parent, it is not up to the same standard as the other videos. It does have some beautiful scenes of wild animals, but overall it seems to be put together quickly. If you want to buy an animal video, I would recommend the Neighborhood Animals video. That is a hit with my daughter and myself.

Summary: yea for julie clark
Review: We love the baby einstein series! Our 13 mo. old is captivated by the videos. For us, the only way to get the baby to sit quietly in his highchair and eat is to put on one of the baby einstein videos. Baby Doolittle being the most recent addition to our collection, we couldn't be more pleased. We do joke, though, because the baby is so completly transfixed by the videos, that Julie Clark- the creator- has brain-washed our child. But if it gets him to eat all his breakfast we won't complain too much.

Summary: Baby Bach, Baby Mozart, Baby Doolittle Animals, World Animal
Review: My daughter and I have the whole series of Baby Einstein videos. Mine was given to me at a grandmother's shower and I in turn got them for my daughter. My grandson is now 10 months old and just loves them all. From the time he was born I would put in Baby Mozart and he would just watch it and fall asleep. Now he smiles and laughs at all the puppets and animals. I was so excited when they came out with World Animals as my grandson has enjoyed all of them thus far, and once again I was thrilled just to watch the expressions on his face as we watch and enjoy the tapes together. I can truly say, these tapes are one of the best gifts you can give a new mother!

Summary: A new Favorite
Review: My 2 1/2 year old has grown up on the Baby Einstein series and loves Baby Mozart and Baby Bach very much. His baby brother who is 9 months enjoys them just as much. Baby Doolittle is a new favorite for my older son, though. Between the real animals and Jane the sock-monkey, he's just thrilled to watch it every time. Of course, he loves to make the animal noises and pretend things when he's watching. But what surprised me most was when he started to sing along to the words of the song played during the "Sea Animals" section. The baby likes watching all of the animals, but sometimes think he's more entertained by watching his older brother dance around and make animal noises. A MUST SEE for any child that enjoys the Baby... series. And, as usual, I like to watch it too and make animal noises back. Sometimes I might even join in the singing and dancing, but I wouldn't admit that in public... :)

Summary: Entertaining!
Review: My 18 month old LOVES this video - it is her favorite. Since watching it, she has learned to say many of the animals names and their sounds. She lets us know she wants to watch it by saying "E-I-E-I-O"!

Summary: Still Good Entertainment
Review: My triplet 2 year olds love watching the animals-- and this video does keep them entertained while seeing and learning about animals. The quality of the video, however, is not as good as some of the others of Baby Einstein. The sound quality seems to be especially poor (at least on my tape).

Summary: we loved the rest of the series but...
Review: Siince my grandson adores all his other Baby Einstein videos, I couldnt wait to get this one for him. When we put the video on, he watched it for some time and then suddenly began crying and shaking. Our first thought was that he was ill. A few days later we tried it again and he had the same response...it seemed to occur when one of the birds came on. While not understanding his reaction, we decided to give it to a friend with a baby, explaing to her that for some reason he didnt like this one. Her baby reacted in the same way. Curious if anyone else has observed strange reaction
